Which expression equals −(9x + 8) − 2(x − 5)? a) 11x + 2 b) 11x − 2 c) −11x + 2 d) −11x − 2

C) -11x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First you have to distribute the negative sign to the numbers in the parentheses...so it would be then become (-9x-8) + (-2x+5)

2) Now you add like terms, so the x's with the x's and the constants with the constants... -9x-2x is -11x and -8+10 is 2

3) So your final answer is -11x+2

answer is x<

c - they will have the same distribution

this is the only one that could make sense. : )
